    3.5 Inch 1.44MB Floppy Diskette Drive | SONY | MPF920 | S/N 12402067 | USED
    After years of repairing, tinkering, testing, proof-of-concepts, presentations, & DIY /  hobbyist projects, the time has come to downscale and part with some of the equipment that is no longer  needed.
    Came across a cache of Floppy Disk Drives.
    A suitable diagnostic software program could not be located to produce testing results.
    So the testing was done as follows:
    Located a Motherboard with an onboard FDD Controller
    Located a Floppy Drive Cable
    Located a Couple of Floppy Disks
    Located a Suitable Power Supply with a 4-Pin Floppy Drive Power Connector for the FDD [ No Adapter or  Converter Used ]
    Connected the Floppy Drive to the MoBo & Booted from a a fully patched Windows 10 drive
    Read the Floppy Disk via Windows Explorer
    Performed a FULL [ vs. Quick ] Format of the Disk
    Verified No Files Existed via Windows Explorer [ This Folder is Empty ]
    Created a Text File on the Floppy Disk and Saved it - Noting the File Size was not 0 (Zero) KB
